Dear MendMeShop,

I'm sorry I missed your call to tell you how pleased I am with the [inferno] wrap. I've only had it six days and there is some improvement already. I sprained a ligament in both knees a month ago doing aerobics, and was beginning to feel I would never heal. The thermal wrap is just wonderful. I will certainly recommend it to anyone I know that needs such treatment. My husband will be eternally grateful for your product - he has to do the daily vacuuming from our exotic birds and our 3 dogs. Thank you for your phone call and offer of assistance.

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Exercises/Prevention/Rehabilitation

Braces help to stabilize the wrist.

At the onset of carpal tunnel pain immediate measures should be taken in order to avoid permanent damage of the median nerve. Ignoring the symptoms thinking they will go away naturally and continuing with activities that cause wrist and hand pain will certainly lead to more serious problems in the future.

In order to avoid serious CTS injuries try to maintain a straight and relaxed wrist position. Repetitive tasks with a bent wrist like typing, playing an instrument and even driving puts your wrist at risk. Doing simple things like using a wrist support at your keyboard or making sure that your keyboard is in the prone position rather than elevated will help keep your wrists in an ergonomic position. It would also be wise to take frequent short breaks to stretch your fingers and thumb.

MendMeShop® Success Stories

Below is a simple to follow stretching routine you can perform before beginning work and frequently throughout your work day. Performing dumbbell exercises with light-weights (2 lbs) to loosen and strengthen the area will help defend against injury. These exercises are used as a precautionary measure and should not be practiced by those who already suffer carpal tunnel pain.

Being limber counts for a lot under repetitive conditions. If you suffer from mild carpal tunnel, these strategies could help you avoid further injury and surgery. Remember, many of these strategies are precautionary and help guard against carpal tunnel injury. If you feel pain or discomfort while exercising or stretching your wrists stop immediately.

Stretching

Here is a quick stretching routine to be performed daily before and during your work day.

  1. Extend and stretch both wrists and hands upwardly as if pressing against a wall. Hold for a count of 5.
  2. Return wrists to a relaxed straight position.
  3. Make a tight fist with both hands and then bend down at the wrist maintaining a clenched fist. Hold for a count of 5.
  4. Return wrists to a relaxed straight position.
  5. Repeat these stretches 10 times and then relax your arms at your side and shake them out.

Treating Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

In order to relieve these symptoms of CTS, the goal is to stop the swelling or compression of the median nerve to relieve pain and reduce inflammation. In order to accomplish this, rest and immobilization is a must. To treat the swelling, pain, inflammation and compression quickly, you can effectively use Ultrasound Therapy, ColdCure Technology®, and Blood Flow Stimulation Therapy™ conveniently in your own home.

Dear MendMeShop,

My name is Bridget, and I am the one that received the Inferno Wrap that Doug purchased. I had stepped off of my front steps early on Halloween day, I missed the entire bottom step somehow.... and seriously rolled my ankle. I am a avid runner and try to get somewhere between 25-40 miles in a week depending on what I am training for at the time. My ankle swelled like a balloon and stayed that way for 2 solid months! I was unable to run, and believe me I tried. I could barely even walk. I was unable to go to the Dr. because of some insurance issues that were being delt with, so I got on the Internet and started doing some research to see what I could do... That is when I came across your web site. I am not gonna lie, I didn't believe it. I thought it all sounded to good to be true. I actually thought about it for a week before I decided to give it a try, the $ back guarantee is what the deciding factor was for me. OMG!!! I have nothing but praise for your product! It is an amazing thing, it only took 1 week for the swelling to go down and stay down! I was back on the trails, running again on the 8th day! I am continuing to use the Inferno Wrap on a regular basis, thank you so much for getting me back out where I belong... running the Trails.
